Subject: Monthly Progress Report No. 16 for the Period January 1 through January 31, 2010; 

for the program, "Catalyst Screening and Durability for Intermediate Ethanol 

Blends," UT-Battelle/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Subcontract No. 4000071456, 

CRC Project E-87-2, SwRI Projects 03.14530 and 03.15340. 

1.0 INTRODUCTION 

 The objective of this project is to help quantify emissions system durability of E15 and 

E20 on the US fleet. Specifically, this project will study the effects of ethanol blends on openloop stoichiometry and resulting catalyst and oxygen sensor temperatures. This project will also 

generate valuable data on vehicle emissions and performance. 

Vehicles selected for this study will include a wide range of manufacturers across several 

model years. Some of the vehicles that will be tested include vehicles that have been identified 

as having leaner and hotter operation on ethanol blends than on gasoline when in wide-open 

throttle (WOT) open-loop operation. Other vehicles will be tested because of their large 

numbers in the in-use vehicle fleet. New vehicles with unknown open-loop fuel control at WOT 

may also be selected. 

 In this project, SwRI will age vehicles and emission control systems operating on three 

levels of ethanol blended fuels (E10, E15, and E20) and compare emissions and vehicle 

performance to similar vehicles operating on the base gasoline (E0). Vehicle service 

accumulation and emissions testing are to be performed on multiple sets of matched vehicles. 

For each matched set, vehicles are to be aged and emissions tested on the four fuel blends (E0, 

E10, E15, and E20). Emissions testing will be performed at three added service accumulation 

levels: 0 miles (start of service accumulation), between 25,000 and 50,000 miles (mid service 

accumulation level), and at the end of the vehicle’s full-useful life (nominally 120,000 miles). 

Beginning in August 2009, selected new vehicle sets will be tested with E0, E15, and E20 fuels.

2.0 PROGRESS FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1-31, 2010 

2.1 Honda Accords, Chevrolet Silverados, and Nissan Altimas 

The Honda Accord, Chevrolet Silverado, and now the Nissan Altima vehicle sets have 

completed vehicle service accumulation and emissions testing to 120,000 odometer miles. 

Vehicle FTP emissions test data at 0 and 50,000 test miles, and 120,000 odometer miles for the 

Accords, Silverados, and the Altimas are provided in Appendix A, Tables A-1 through A-9. 

Data in these tables have been updated from the previous progress report. 

2.2 Ford Tauruses 

The Ford Taurus vehicle set continued mileage accumulation this reporting period. Ford 

Taurus ORFT15 had a water pump bearing seal leak and a transmission torque converter seal 

leak, both of which were repaired. Vehicle service accumulation for this vehicle set will 

continue into February. 

 The Ford Taurus vehicle set completed emissions testing at 50,000 test miles during the 

previous reporting period. Taurus emissions test data at zero and 50,000 test miles are given in 

Appendix A, Tables A-10 and A-11. Data in these tables have been updated from the previous 

progress report. 

2.3 Dodge Caravans and Chevrolet Cobalts 

The Dodge Caravan and Chevrolet Cobalt vehicle sets completed service accumulation to 

their respective interim levels, and emissions testing began during this reporting period. Vehicle 

emissions test data for the Dodge Caravan vehicle set are provided in Appendix A, Tables A-12 

and A-13. Emissions test data completed to date for the Cobalt vehicle set are provided in 

Appendix A, Table A-14. The Cobalt vehicle set will continue emissions testing into February, 

and both vehicle sets will be scheduled to resume service accumulation to 120,000 odometer 

miles. 

2.4 Dodge Calibers 

The Dodge Caliber vehicle set began FTP emission testing this reporting period. As 

previously reported, the Calibers need to be put into “rolls mode” for emissions testing on the 

chassis dynamometer. Vehicle emissions test data processed to date for the Caliber vehicle set 

are provided in Appendix A, Table A-15. 

Southwest Research worked with Chrysler this past reporting period to enable long-term 

vehicle operation in dynamometer “rolls mode.” The vehicles will begin service accumulation 

on the SwRI Mileage Accumulation Dynamometers beginning in February.

2.5 Vehicle Procurement – 2006 Nissan Quests, 2002 Nissan Frontiers, 2000 Ford Focus, 

and Other Non-Tier 2 Vehicles 

Three 2006 Nissan Quests have been obtained for the project. Previously, a Nissan Quest 

was identified for the program, but it was later found to have a different transmission model than 

the other two Quests. This vehicle has been exchanged with another Nissan Quest matching the 

other two vehicles during this reporting period. A photograph of the three matching Nissan 

Quests is provided in Figure 1. 

FIGURE 1. 2006 NISSSAN QUESTS 

Vehicle check-in information for the three matched Nissan Quests is provided in 

Appendix B. The Quests are undergoing vehicle preparations for project testing. New tires 

have been purchased and the engine control calibrations have been checked. The local Nissan 

dealership did not have access to the 1ZM01B power train calibration. Farrukh Khan of Nissan 

was contacted, and he stated that the differences between the 1ZM01A and 1ZM01B calibrations 

would not affect the E-87-2 Program. 

 Two 2002 Nissan Frontiers were located and shipped to SwRI as previously reported. A 

third matching Nissan Frontier has been identified and shipped to SwRI this reporting period. A 

photograph of the three Nissan Frontiers is given in Figure 2. Vehicle check-in information for 

the Frontiers is provided in Appendix B.

FIGURE 2. 2002 NISSAN FRONTIERS 

The next vehicle models authorized by Oak Ridge and CRC for purchase are three nonTier 2 models, namely the 2000 Ford Focus 2.0L, the 2002 Dodge Durango 4.7L, and the 2000 

Honda Accord 2.3L. SwRI initiated search efforts for the Ford Focus vehicle set during the 

current reporting period. Procurement efforts for the remaining vehicles authorized will be 

scheduled as prioritized by project the stakeholders. 

2.6 Vehicle Oil Consumption 

 Oil consumption history for the Dodge Caravan, Chevrolet Cobalt, and Ford Taurus 

vehicle sets have been recorded by weight. Updated graphs of oil consumption versus test miles 

are provided in Appendix C. All these vehicles have exhibited normal oil consumption rates. 

2.7 Service Accumulation Fuel

A delivery of road grade ethanol was received at the end of the previous reporting period. 

A sample of the road grade ethanol was analyzed by SwRI, and this analysis is provided in 

Appendix D. 

Another tanker truck of commercial gasoline (E0) fuel has been received from the local 

fuel supply terminal. A fuel analysis, provided in Appendix D, confirmed that this fuel 

contained no ethanol. SwRI has filled all project underground tanks with E0 fuel in anticipation 

of the local fuel terminal possibly switching to ethanol containing fuel in the near future. The 

availability of locally supplied ethanol-free gasoline will continue to be closely watched for this 

project. All incoming E0 fuel deliveries are checked for possible ethanol content prior to SwRI 

accepting the fuel for this project.

3.0 WORK PLANNED FOR THE NEXT REPORTING PERIOD 

Southwest Research will continue with search efforts for the 2000 Ford Focus and other 

non-Tier 2 vehicle sets. As vehicles are received by SwRI, they will be inspected, insured, and 

prepared for emissions testing and service accumulation. 

The Nissan Altima vehicle set has completed emissions testing at 120,000 odometer 

miles. These vehicles will be scheduled for the final leak down and compression checks. 

The Ford Taurus vehicle set has previously completed emissions testing at 50,000 test 

miles. Vehicle service accumulation to 120,000 odometer miles is ongoing and will continue 

into February. 

Interim level emissions testing for the Caravan and Cobalt vehicle sets are scheduled to 

finish in February. Mileage accumulation to the final service level is scheduled to resume in 

later in February and continue through March. 

 SwRI will begin procurement efforts for the 2002 Dodge Durango and the 2000 Honda 

Accord vehicles following the acquisitions of the 2000 Ford Focus vehicle set. 

SwRI will continue to monitor the current supplier of project E0 service accumulation 

gasoline for the anticipated switch to an ethanol fuel blend. When the switch occurs, SwRI plans 

to obtain E0 gasoline for the project from another source.
